Paratransit buses

A bus built for demand-response ADA complementary service, with multiple wheelchair positions, flip seats, and a lift or ramp.

Paratransit buses typically seat 8 to 20 passengers plus 2 to 6 wheelchair positions. Exact capacity depends on the seating configuration and, where wheelchair positions are specified, on how many seats are given up to securement stations.

Depends on GVWR and occupant count; many are non-CDL by design. A commercial driver's licence with a passenger endorsement is generally required at 16 or more occupants including the driver, or above 26,001 lb GVWR, but state rules vary and the occupant count on the specific unit is what decides it. Always verify against the unit, not the category.

Transit-agency ADA service, county aging programs, non-emergency medical. On CommercialBuses these requests usually arrive from a dealer whose own inventory cannot fill a buyer's spec.

Yes. Submit the buyer's requirements and CommercialBuses searches participating dealer inventory for an available paratransit bus that meets every must-have. Searching is free, and you only choose a plan once we confirm a match.
